It was too good to be true. Last week we found out here that Jonah Hill was in negotiations to join the cast of Transformers 2, probably as Sam Witwicky’s roommate. Unfortunately, EW now says things have fallen apart. Jonah Hill is out.

Apparently Optimus Prime is not a fan of Superbad. Bummer. Jonah would have been great as Shia LaBeouf’s sidekick. Though maybe it’s for the best. Hill’s not as funny when he can’t curse, and I’m not sure you can have Optimus Prime ask him about his wiener and still get a PG-13.

With Hill out that means there’s a big opening in the sequel’s cast. Start dreaming up age appropriate names to play Shia’s buddy. What’s Michael Cera doing?
